Previously, Goldman was VP, Marketing and Strategic Partnerships at Resolution Media, a search marketing agency that makes it rain under the Omnicom umbrella. Before that, he managed U.S. Midwest sales for MaxOnline, an ad network that was folded into IAC. He sold a lot of pop-ups.

When he’s not busy Googling himself, Goldman is running around Chicago with his wife, Lisa, daughter, Eliara, and twins, Ethan and Mila.

The Facebook Challenge: Is Social Media Inventory Any Good for Marketers?
Date/Time: October 01, 4:15 PM

And now the company is bringing its data outside the network walls and letting the DSPs and exchanges in. How are agencies meeting the complex challenge that Facebook poses both to the media plan and to the business of display. Can social display inform and enhance a larger marketing plan?
